Robots.txt Tester

Test whether a URL path is allowed for a selected crawler using robots.txt rules.

About Robots.txt Tester

Paste robots.txt rules, choose a crawler and test a path. The evaluator follows the most specific matching user-agent group and the longest matching allow or disallow rule.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful context

Does this fetch my live robots.txt file?

No. Paste the file contents so the test stays client-side and avoids cross-origin restrictions.

Does robots.txt prevent indexing?

Not reliably. Robots.txt controls crawling. Use a noindex directive on an accessible page when you need to prevent indexing.
